Featured review
This series is not a masterpiece of comedy sitcoms, but it i up in the higher levels of the genre. Belushi plays Belushi and therefore he does it perfectly and the other actors are good as well. The comedy is layered in the relation and interacting of the family members with Jim, a sometimes lazy but still caring father, who wants to be left alone but cannot help to care, even for his brother-in-law, who gets on his nerves so often. It's a classic sitcom with not much moving forward or connecting the eoisodes, but it works week to week. It's good to watch, it's light and it has humour in the small moments of life. Nice.
